Changing the Narrative: The Nexus Between Governance, Gender, and Peacebuilding in Africa
The issue of gender equality is one which Africa and the world has been proactively engaging in earnest, in particular over the past two decades. The African Peer Review Mechanism, as a self-assessment instrument of the AU with an extended mandate to monitor and evaluate the AU’s Agenda 2063 and SDGs 2030, is also expected to implement and supervise the main areas of governance in Africa. For the APRM, conducting the research on the issue of gender equality and governance revealed the challenges women continue to face in terms of inclusion and empowerment. And the issue of women who are refugees and displaced persons, further supports the need for action. As a result, the Mechanism encourages Member States to adopt policies that strengthen gender equality and women’s empowerment.

Agenda 2063 and SDGs Implementation in Africa
This is the first report by the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) to assess the governance mechanisms implementing the SDGs and Agenda 2063 at the continental level. Why is the APRM producing this report? The importance of good governance in the realisation of Sustainable Development is well known: good governance leads to good development outcomes as noted in the SDGs Index developed by the SDGs Centre for Africa and the latest Mo Ibrahim African Governance Index. The report also fills a gap in assessing national mechanisms responsible for the implementation of SDGs and Agenda 2063. This area has not received the same level of attention as the actual monitoring of progress on the indicators.

Mise en œuvre de I'Agenda 2063 et des objectifs de développement durable en Afrique
Le présent rapport est le premier qu’élabore le Mécanisme africain d’évaluation par les pairs (MAEP) pour évaluer les mécanismes de gouvernance concernant la mise en oeuvre des ODD et de l’Agenda 2063 sur le continent. Pourquoi un tel rapport ? L’importance de la bonne gouvernance en matière de développement durable est bien connue ; la bonne gouvernance conduit à de bons résultats en matière de développement, comme l’indiquent l’Indice des ODD, élaboré par le Centre africain des ODD et le dernier indice Mo Ibrahim sur la gouvernance en Afrique. Le rapport comble également une lacune dans l’évaluation des mécanismes nationaux utilisés dans la mise en oeuvre des ODD et de l’Agenda 2063. Cette question n’a pas reçu le même intérêt que le suivi réel des progrès accomplis concernant les indicateurs.

AFRICA SOVEREIGN CREDIT RATING REVIEW

(FRE) APRM Governance Link - Issue 9
À mesure que les gouvernements assouplissent les réglementations de confinement mises en oeuvre depuis mars 2020 pour ralentir la propagation de la Covid-19, nous ne pouvons faire autrement que d’appréhender la vie telle que nous la connaissions avant d’être malencontreusement interrompus par cette créature abyssale appelée le Coronavirus. Quelques activités qui avaient été suspendues font peu à peu leur retour, des écoles ont ouvert, le shopping n’est plus aussi pénible et les réglementations autour des restaurants et des lieux de culte ont également été assouplies. Bien que nous devions encore respecter un certain nombre de restrictions, comme l’imposition de la distanciation sociale et le port de masques faciaux, je préfère de loin suivre ces règles plutôt que d’être confinée entre mes quatre murs à supporter les cris de mes enfants et les caprices de mon cher mari.
Governance Link - Issue 9
As governments ease lockdown regulations that have been implemented since March 2020 to slow down the spread of COVID-19, we can’t help but look forward to life as we knew it before we were rudely interrupted by this faceless beast called the Corona Virus. A few activities that were banned have made a come-back, schools have opened, shopping is no longer as painful and rules around restaurants and places of worship have also been relaxed. Though we still need to adhere to some level of restrictions, like the imposition on social distancing and wearing of face masks, I’d much rather follow these rules than be locked up at home with my screaming kids and solemn husband.
Governance Link - Issue 8
As the world grapples with the devastation of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Life, as we know it, has changed. The challenge we face today has been both unexpected and devastating, in the form of a deadly virus that is spreading around the globe and that is challenging how we do things. Governments in their wisdom have imposed lockdown/isolation and social distance restrictions. All these measures to respond to our common and invisible enemy, the Corona Virus.

Governance, Gender and Peacebuilding: Strengthening the nexus
There is a growing realisation in African states that bad governance causes inequalities that can lead to the outbreak of sustained violence. Violence against women is a manifestation of gender inequality resulting from unequal power relations in times of peace or conflict. Sustainable solutions requires women to be their spokespersons and to articulate their concerns and issues within formal governance platforms and peace processes.

Gouvernance, Genre et Consolidation de la Paix: Renforcer le lien
Les États africains se rendent progressivement compte que la mauvaise gouvernance est à l’origine des inégalités qui peuvent conduire à l’explosion d’une violence durable. La violence contre les femmes est une manifestation de l’inégalité des sexes résultant de relations de pouvoir inégales en temps de paix ou de conflit. Pour trouver des solutions durables, les femmes doivent être leurs porte-paroles et exprimer leurs préoccupations et leurs problèmes dans le cadre de plateformes de gouvernance et de processus officiels de paix.
